Values for categorical variables are reported as count (percent), and for continuous variables, normally distributed ones are reported as the mean ± SD, and otherwise as the median with interquartile ranges. CHF, congestive heart failure; PVD, peripheral vascular diseases; CVA, cerebrovascular accident; ACE inhibitor/ARB, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker; PPI, proton pump inhibitor; NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
